ChannelReceiverFunction

ChannelReceiverFunction[fun]

represents a channel receiver function that applies fun to any channel message it receives.

Details and Options

  • CloudDeploy[ChannelReceiverFunction[]] yields a CloudObject containing meta-information that specifies the channel to which messages for the channel receiver should be sent.
  • CloudDeploy[ChannelReceiverFunction[]"curi"] deploys the receiver to ChannelObject["curi"].
  • CloudDeploy[ChannelReceiverFunction[]channel] deploys the receiver to the specified channel, given as ChannelObject[].
  • CloudDeploy[ChannelReceiverFunction[]] is equivalent to CloudDeploy[ChannelReceiverFunction[]Automatic].
  • In a deployed ChannelReceiverFunction[fun], fun[assoc] is evaluated whenever a channel message is received. The association assoc contains the same elements as in ChannelListen, except for ones specific to the ChannelListener object.
  • CloudDeploy[ChannelReceiverFunction[fun]] sets up a channel receiver function that is executed in the cloud and does not require active listeners in any specific Wolfram Language session.
  • The function fun is evaluated in the environment of the owner of the channel receiver function.
  • Channel receiver functions cannot be triggered by messages that were themselves sent from within channel receiver functions.

Send a message to the channel and retrieve its content from the databin:

Clean up:

Define a receiver function that sends messages containing the string "URGENT" to a priority channel and the rest to a bulk channel:

Create the two channels and deploy the receiver function to a third channel, which is automatically created:

Start listening on the channels:
